Planning Applications for Consideration

Specialist Advisor (Conservation) to report on applications.

Minutes:

Chris Connelley, Specialist Advisor, Conservation, presented the report and the Group considered the LBC (Listed Building Consent) application (220468) for The Old Manor House, 33 The Goffs, Eastbourne, BN21 1HF.

 

Proposal:Repair and renewal to the fascia, gutters and roof of the Grade 2 Listed Building

 

CAG comment: The Group welcomed this application, which would help weatherproof one of the borough’s oldest and most significant listed buildings. There were no concerns about a loss of significance for the listed building or a challenge to the character and appearance of the conservation area.

 

The Group recommended that the applicant liaise with the Specialist Advisor, Conservation on the best approach to replacement tiles, once the exact extent of the situation has been ascertained, following concerns regarding use of second-hand tiles and the possible benefits of new, hand-made tiles.

 

The Group noted the parallel application for tree works at the property, which would need to be approved before any works on the building could take place, and expressed it’s hope that this would happen as soon as possible in order that roof works could begin before the winter.
